The past couple of years, the kids and I have enjoyed the occasional geocaching trip. For those who don’t know, geocaching is sort of a treasure hunt. Folks hide caches in public places and then publish the GPS coordinates at http://www.geocaching.com. You then use your GPS to locate the cache. Some cache containers are big enough to have “treasure” in them and we trade treasure we have for treasure we want. Others are only big enough to have a log book for visitors to sign.

We have friends who also geocache and they gave us a travelbug (an object with a tracking # attached) that we placed in a cache today. We will now track the progress of the travelbug back to its home in Colorado.

We had a really good day in spite of 48 degree weather. We found 10 caches today and placed the travelbug. Oh, and I convinced the kid to eat at a BBQ joint for lunch! 🙂
